Yahoo Japan Links, Images, etc. Part II

I've searched for 開発 for ages and it's not yielded too much. A few things here and there but I get Seibu Kaihatsu hits far more often.

 

開発 is good if you search directly in hardware categories. 非売品 (not for sale item) would be another term to find promos and serial numbers like "dtl" for Playstation dev hardware also give good results.

Both end in about 5 hours.

(Not the seller... and the latter is definitely outside of my available funds!)

"R-Type 2 - play version - "... could be rare as it's marked "sample - not for sale"

 

Maybe something for the Wii collectors out there?

Oh, and have a look at the questions the seller has received!

DAMMIT the PSP dev unit could be really handy as a spare, but I don't have an account or use Yahoo. Nuts!

At the moment I treat the current unit with kids gloves and it rarely gets out the box as I am so paranoid about it getting damaged. The wire going into the unit is direct insert and not on a pivot, so it doesn't allow you to flex it or anything - in my view a design flaw. It is most definately the weakest area of that console.

 

WTH......my post disapeared. Hmm.....

Anyway........I posted about this auction:

Looks like a pirate to me but maybe the Sega collectors could give some input!

It's a sample cart (Or so the marker pen on the back says) and now the bloody price has gone sky high. Still, thanks for the link :nod:

heh I came here to post that blue cart....looks like someone beat me to it.

REG VEDA usually wins when he bids....

Yes, it's an Xbox Live branded Japanese style lamp!

 

Is that official?

 

Yeah, that is just odd - like a Microsoft toothbrush or Sony foot scrub. I know that Sony did actually have a huge catalogue of branded bits & pieces, but never realised Microsoft had something similar. I'd love to know whether it was official or an interesting mock-up.

 

I'm a bit naive about art, but isn't that just a lamp with a tacky XBOX Live badge glued on to it?

 

I´ve got to agree that it doesn´t look very official. I mean, without that badge it looked like a lamp for a childroom..

 

Famicom Disk system beta?

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g55052220?

Described as an S-RPG where you have beat Nobunaga Oda. Seems to be of interest to somebody as it's attracted bids of 21,600 円 with 3 hours left.

what is this game, looks like some sort of mecha action DC game (like frame gride?), never heard of it, any good?

 

It's Rayblade, a mech simulation RPG like the SD Gundam series after what I've heard. Rather rare Dreamcast release as well.

 

Sorry but it's not rare at all or good come to think of t. Well, it's not bad but the graphics are pretty poor due to it being a PlayStation 1 port :nod:
